Narrative:
Shortly after takeoff and while still on vectors with departure; we were assigned 10000 MSL. A minute or two after leveling off at that altitude; and perhaps due [to] possible wake turbulence; airplane climbed a couple of hundred feet [above our cleared] altitude. The first officer; who was the pilot flying; quickly corrected [the] deviation. A momentary TCAS RA was received; but we were already correcting when [the] RA started. No evasive maneuvers were required; nor any ATC instructions or queries received. Flight proceeded uneventfully to its destination.

Title: CRJ-900 Captain reported an altitude excursion resulted due to a possible wake vortex encounter departing DFW.
Narrative: Shortly after takeoff and while still on vectors with departure; we were assigned 10000 MSL. A minute or two after leveling off at that altitude; and perhaps due [to] possible wake turbulence; airplane climbed a couple of hundred feet [above our cleared] altitude. The FO; who was the pilot flying; quickly corrected [the] deviation. A momentary TCAS RA was received; but we were already correcting when [the] RA started. No evasive maneuvers were required; nor any ATC instructions or queries received. Flight proceeded uneventfully to its destination.
